We are so close! When we started our Support Womn and Girls in Ghana campaign six years ago, we knew we were setting the bar high- $100,000 on-line was and is an ambitious goal. But today we are close, so very close, to that goal. In the six years this campaign has run we have given out thousadns of dollars in micro-loans, given muchneeded scholarships to close to 250 girls in Ghana, and generally helped a lot of women and gurls work hard together to make the world a better place. Thank you to all who have given! Now, would you like help put us over the top?
Support Women and Girls in Ghana is our main campaign, and our longest running. With an original goal of $100,000 we have now exceeded the $95,000 mark. The success of this campaign adds to our increasing fiscal stability and growth. This year, for the first time ever, our loan program will provide around $70,000 to help keep the loan program running.
With your help, we are in a position to continue and even expand our efforts. You have made it possible for us to help over 240 girls continue in school, help dozens of small women owned business suceed and begin to connect women in need of health care with health care poroviders. Perhaps the best metric of the change you have helped bring about: in a country were virtually no women makes it to University, we sent four this year alone. Thank you so much for that.
I hope you will continue to support WomensTrust. The "ROI" on the gifts you make to us can been seen on the smiling faces of the women and girls whose lives are made measureably better thanks to your help. Ghana is full of talented and enthusiastic women and girls who are more than capable of improving their lives and the lives of those around them. They just need a chance. Thank you for helping us give them that chance.
